This is interesting.? There are many projects now listed on Ravelry and many of them have the appearance of a true dolman.?? I tried on my sleeve and it fit perfectly — like a normal (non-dolman) sleeve, just as I predicted in my earlier description above.? I do not know why, but I do like it!!
“Regular” they are not.?? Normally on a top down sleeve, you would decrease 2 sts every “x” rounds/rows to get the stitch count desired.? Because you decrease 2 sts at the top of the sleeve every other round, you must INCREASE along the [what would usually be] the underarm seam line in order?NOT to decrease the stitch count.? So,football uniforms, for every 6 rounds, I increase every other row twice,cheap nfl jerseys, and then do not increase on one of the rounds,nfl sports jerseys, thus resulting in 2 sts decreased every 6 rounds.? It’s all very backward and confusing!?? My brain hurts.? After ten sets of these I will switch to every 8 row decreases (or “un-increases” as the case may be!).? At least that is the plan,football jerseys, though it could change if the numbers indicate.
The sleeves are the coolest feature of this sweater.? They are described as “dolmans.”? In my earlier post about this sweater, I said the following,
My sleeve so far:
I am so glad I decided to re-embark on this project.??I really am enjoying it, though each stitch makes me feel a tad guilty about Eala Bhan .? Oh, well, EB will get done, too.
I could not get a good picture to save my life, so this is scanned…thus I could not get the whole sweater
It looks just like the original and fits beautifully.? I am happy so far.? I also am not shaping the sleeve as dramatically as was done in the original — it gets too skinny too fast for most people.??I followed the pattern’s shaping until all of the gusset sts were decreased away and then I started doing “regular” sleeve shaping.? That is why on my sleeve the bottom edge of my sleeve slants down — it would be straight across and be getting skinnier without the added sts.
“The sleeves are described as dolmans,throwback jerseys, but I think a more accurate description is a modified drop shoulder with an underarm gusset.? The appearance is that of a dolman, but it really isn’t.? EZ was brilliant.? As you knit the sweater, you “cut out” a huge chunk at the armholes, but then add it back in (gray section in illustration below):
